Kraken Breaks Wall Street Barriers: Tokenized U.S. Stocks Launch on Solana for Global Traders

Kraken just fired the latest shot in the crypto vs. traditional finance war—tokenized U.S. equities are coming to Solana’s blockchain. No middlemen, no 9-to-5 trading windows, just 24/7 exposure to blue-chip stocks for clients worldwide.

Why it matters: While legacy finance still argues over settlement times, crypto exchanges are rebuilding the system with blockchain rails. Solana’s speed and low fees make it the obvious choice—sorry, Ethereum maximalists.

The fine print: Regulatory hurdles remain, but Kraken’s betting that global demand will outweigh the SEC’s skepticism. After all, why wait for approval when you can build first and ask permission later? (That’s how every major financial innovation has happened—just ask the guys who invented credit default swaps.)

Bottom line: Wall Street’s clubby stock market monopoly keeps crumbling. Whether regulators like it or not, the future is tokenized, borderless, and running on Solana.
